President Goodluck Jonathan on Friday, January 30, 2015 submitted a list of seven names to the Senate for approval to be appointed as Ministers.
The immediate past Minister of State for Defence, Musiliu Obanikoro has been named among those who would be screened for the Federal cabinet positions.
It would be recalled that Obanikoro, who is a former Local Government Chairman in Lagos Island and a one-time Ambassador of Nigeria to Ghana quit his ministerial post to contest for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Lagos gubernatorial primaries which he lost to pharmacist, Jimi Agbaje.
